A global webscale cloud provider has selected Zayo
Group Holdings, Inc. for wavelength connectivity. Zayo’s solution will
provide high-capacity connectivity between a major west coast data
center and another facility located centrally in the U.S.

The
solution will provide the customer with triversity between the data
centers, with up to 2TB of capacity. The customer selected Zayo for its
ability to provide a completely separate, high-capacity route to
complement its primary and secondary networks. Increasingly, cloud
providers require diversity at a minimum and are moving more towards
triversity or quadversity to ensure fully reliable redundancy.

The
global public cloud market is expected to grow approximately 35 percent
over the next two years, according to a recent report from Gartner. To
handle the demand, providers are investing to expand and bullet proof
their infrastructure, which includes redundant fiber and lit fiber-based
connectivity between data centers.

“We were able to secure this
contract because of our existing fiber infrastructure, lit fiber-based
footprint and ability to mobilize to complete the project very quickly,”
said Andrew Crouch, president and COO at Zayo. “Earning this business
is an important vote of confidence from a long-standing customer.”
